Yeni Demokrat Kadın made a press statement in front of Bakırköy Prison, stating that imprisoned journalist Sevda Perihan Erkılıç was denied her right to treatment and special nutrition despite her celiac and asthma diseases. The statement, attended by many women and journalists, drew attention to the rights violations against sick prisoners in prisons. In the statement, it was stated that Erkılıç’s journalistic activities were made the subject of accusations and that even the name “Sevda”, which is registered on her identity card, was recorded in her file as a “code name”. Emphasizing that the right to treatment is systematically violated, the statement called for the immediate release of sick prisoners.
